Ok Brewers here's a challenge, can we Aussie brewers make great pumpkin beer. Seems we've mastered making American Pale Ales and other American Styles, how do you think we'll go with this one. The traditional Thanksgiving Pumpkin Beer, a spiced, vegetable beer.
The Annual Goomeri Pumpkin Festival this year includes a Homebrewed Pumpkin Beer Competition, entry forms are available from the website: http://www.goomeripumpkinfestival.com.au/
Send your entries in and lets see who can nail this style. If you live close, take the drive and visit the festival, it's a great family day out.
Goomeri (pron. Goo merry) is a small village 2.5 hrs drive North of Brisbane. The Annual Pumpkin Festival is a great fun-filled family day out. Head to Goomeri on Sunday 29th May 2011 and join in the fun. Entry to the festival is free and there is plenty of entertainment to suit all ages. Join the thousands of people who come along to enjoy the free entertainment, either on the main stage or roving in the streets. Win yourself some great prizes by entering into the many pumpkin competitions on the day. Most of these competitions have free entry. Become a pumpkin roller and have a go at the Great Australian Pumpkin Roll™. Send your pumpkin hurtling down Policeman's Hill to see how far it can go. Wander the streets and look at the many street stalls at your leisure, sit down in the local cafes and hotel and enjoy a meal or relax in the park with your family and friends to enjoy a picnic style lunch. A great variety of foods is available to suit all tastes and budgets. Sign the Festival Visitors' Book outside the Food Hall and be in the draw to win a fabulous prize.
Good Luck Brewers!!!
